Just found an item on Aliexpress, much cheaper than Lazada/Shopee. I have a few questions:

1. I just signed up. Before signing up they indicate there is a reward, but I don't see any special vouchers/promo codes. Am I missing something?

2. I see the orders are priced in MYR. If I pay with a normal Malaysian credit card, will I need to pay some additional currency conversion fee etc?

3. Is the checkout price the FINAL price?

4. How consistent and reliable is the shipping? It says free shipping by AliExpress. Delivery estimate Oct 01 - 06, tracking available.

Let me know if there's any other tips or tricks to be aware of.

Thanks!

If use CC there's a % fee iirc
Shipping time is within the stated timeline, same as shopee and lazada.

So TS have u ordered? Can share share experience.
Considering getting item from Aliexpress also, shopi & lazda dont have the model i want, and even for same model, aliexpress cheaper by few ten bucks..

No, I decided not to. Got cold feet after reading about horror experiences and issues with getting refunds etc. Not worth it for my peace of mind. Shopee, and to some extent Lazada, still okay in that regard.

My order in mid January is stuck as customs since 29th Jan 2025, with no update since then. Promised delivery date was by 9th Feb 2025.

Can we cancel and get a refund? I can't seem to find an option. If not yet, when can I do so? I already got the same item locally, I was quite sure it'd arrive within 3 to 4 weeks, and yet here we are.
